End of Beijing Olympics.

Beijing Olympics has come to an end!

I think it's been the best ever Olympic games so far, and China should be credited and be proud of that. China invested about US 40 Billion dollars on this Olympic games, and definitely reaped in some handsome rewards. To add on, China has definitely created a huge impact and changed the perception of the Western countries towards Asian countries.

"More than 40 world records were set, more than 100 Olympic records, and of course we had the two icons of the Games, Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt." - Jacques Rogge
Somehow, i feel empty that it's all over. No more Olympic games to watch until 2012, where the next Olympic games will be held at England, London. I hope it will be another remarkable event by then.

Some photos of the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympic games on 24/08/08!

Extinguished flame.

An event to be remembered, and anticipated.
